The Special Investigations Unit has been called in after one man was allegedly injured while police were arresting two suspects after a shooting Tuesday evening.

SIU spokesperson Jasbir Brar said the investigation is in the early stages and the first step is to look at the nature of the injuries sustained during one of the arrests.

Brar said they are trying to determine if the injuries were serious and whether they meet the threshold of the SIU’s mandate.

Around 6:45 p.m., police said a man entered a barbershop on Sherbourne St., near Bloor St. E. and fired two shots.

The victim, a 24-year old man, who was rushed to hospital after being shot in the leg, does not appear to be the intended target, according to police.

The first suspect ran out of the shop and jumped into a car parked outside the store.A police officer who was in the area was able to arrest him.

The second suspect allegedly sped away from the scene in a car and slammed into a pole in the Yonge St. and Marlborough Ave. area. He then fled on foot and police arrested him soon after.

A video obtained by CTV of the arrest appears to show officers hitting the man as they tried to subdue him. The video does not show the events prior to the man’s arrest. Much of the view is obscured by a fence.

Around 7:30 p.m., paramedics were called to Gange Ave. to transport a man with serious, but non-life-threatening head injuries to hospital.

Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair told CTV that officers were apprehending a very serious gunman and it was a dangerous situation for them to deal with.

The SIU investigates incidents involving police and civilians that have resulted in serious injury, death or allegations of sexual assault.

The scene of the shooting was cordoned off Tuesday as officers investigated the area, which stretched from Isabella St. to Howard St.

Police said the two men are facing up to a total of 12 charges, which include a variety of firearm-related charges and attempted murder. They said a loaded handgun was also recovered.
